Texas took Houston to the last minutes of their first game and will aim to finish the job this time. A victory over the highly ranked Cougars would considerably improve Texas’ NCAA Tournament resume. Houston has won two straight games since losing to Kansas and is attempting to maintain its lead in the Big 12.
The Cougars are 10-13-1 against the spread this season, but they have not covered in their last three games. Houston has won two of those three, but they win a lot of close games, and they also see many high spreads because of their success this season. The Cougars are riding a hot offense, having hit the OVER for total points in three of the last four.
The Longhorns are even worse as spread bets this season, going 9-15 ATS. Texas has covered four of their past six games, but they are only 3-3 during this stretch. They’ve been winning on offense and defense, with three OVERS and three UNDERS in their last six games. The Longhorns have also won outright as underdogs throughout that time period.
Here’s the Texas vs. Houston betting news, props, and prediction for tonight’s Big 12 game. The game starts at 9 p.m. on ESPN.
